"We started in a little Sunday School room at the back of the church, and we thought we'd give it a year's go [thinking], 'If it doesn't work out, we will just toss it'."

With the funds raised from selling the donated items Mrs Smoker nominates charities and groups all around the world to contribute to.

"We've been going for exactly four years on the second of October [and] in that time we've donated more than a $169,000 [to charities]," Mrs Smoker said.

"People have been good all the way through helping, supporting us because they know it is going for a good cause."

Small charity a big success

The response from the public was immediate, with donations pouring in from across WA.

"It went from strength to strength. It went from one room to two rooms, then the hall, a larger shed, but it wasn't enough room so we then had to buy this place plus rent another shop to fit everything in it," Mrs Smoker said.

Mrs Smoker said the success of the stores has meant she and her husband have donated the funds far and wide.

"We donate to the Royal Flying Doctor Service, the Mukti Mission, which is an orphanage in India, the Red Cross, the Cancer Council, Alzheimer's [research], the local school, the Narembeen District Hospital [and] sporting clubs," she said.

"Anyone who is doing something around the town, helping the town, we are more than happy to help.

"We want to support the town with what is happening."

Now Mrs smoker and her supporters are looking for a little help in return.

The shop they rent in Narrogin is up for sale, and Mrs Smoker wants to buy it to avoid having to relocate the store again after multiple moves.

She has launched a Go Fund Me campaign to raise the $200,000 required to purchase the property, and so far the response has been good.
